Royal Rumble 2005

He hasn't held the title in ages

Heidenreich wins here Taker wins at Mania

The top picks are obviously Batista and Cena here. Scenario 1 = Cena wins: He'd have to lose his US title and face either JBL, Angle, or Show at Mania (and he's not feuding with any of them right now). Batista is still free to take on HHH at Mania anyway. Scenario 2 = Batista wins. He'd complete his face turn and HHH would retain his title so that the two could meet at Mania (no way would it be Batista vs Orton). While Ric Flair's role in the Rumble is not clear yet, for now I'm switching my pick to Batista. IMPOSSIBLE: Christian, Mark Jindrak, Scotty 2 Hotty, Chris Jericho, Charlie Haas, Booker T, Orlando Jordan, Luther Reigns, The Hurricane, Kenzo Suzuki, Hardcore Holly, Kane, Shawn Michaels, Muhammed Hassan, Paul London, Chris Benoit, Viscera, The Coach, Gene Snitsky, Simon Dean, Daniel Puder, AND Shelton Benjamin POSSIBLE: Edge, Batista, Eddie Gurerro, Rey Mysterio, and John Cena FINAL 2: John Cena and Batista WINNER: Batista

Orton sucks

HBK sucks, Edge Kicks Ass + Royal Rumble = Edge wins
